application of this methodology should add value the

student’s learning experience. However, to do this we must

enhance their abilities by developing the experiences which

The question is, does teaching by case study achieve this

and if so, then to what extent? Two pilot surveys, one on

student’s attitude to case studies and the other on a

technology acceptance model (TAM) based on e-delivery of

case studies, were carried out with MBA/MSc students that

gave the following results.

Student Satisfaction Responses to Likert Scale Questions

The charts below show student responses to the Likert Scale

questions. The first chart shows responses by all students

on case study usage while the second and third details

responses from students on e-delivered tutorial support

and general assessment of the e-application. Overall, fifty-

five students completed the pilot questionnaires. Five is the

highest possible score on the charts and one is the lowest
